"To paraphrase Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver: "We all gotta get organizized." Otherwise, how will our Web site team know where to put all our content?" -- Bob Doyle in EContent (http://www.econtentmag.com/)
If you’re like the rest of us, you bookmark sites that you want to revisit at some time in the future. After a while, you begin to organize your bookmarks into categories, with names based on terms that make sense to you.
Before you know it, you have 2000 bookmarked sites neatly organized in your “Favorites.”
What happens when your computer crashes? Or when you buy a new laptop? Or when you want to access your bookmarks on a friend’s computer?
There are several solutions but here is the one that works for me. …
Step One: Save your bookmarks
If you have never saved your bookmarks before, here are the steps to follow. In your browser …
File --> Import/Export -->Export to a file--> Favorites--> [Click Next]--> [Browse to the folder you wish to save your bookmarks to, and type in a file name for your bookmarks]--> [Click Export]
Step Two: Save your bookmark file to an external source
You can copy it to a thumb drive. Or you can send it as an attachment in an email to yourself. If you have a Gmail account, you might want to send yourself an email to that account. If there is anything in your bookmark file that you consider confidential or sensitive in any sense, you might prefer to copy it to a thumb drive. Either way, you now have a copy of your valuable bookmark file that you can use in case you do not have access to your own computer.

“TDA Research, Inc. was founded in 1987 and is located in Wheat Ridge and Golden, CO. TDA’s staff of 75 develops catalysts and sorbents, advanced materials and components. Our development work is primarily supported by government R&D contracts. TDA retains the intellectual property developed under these contracts, and works in partnership with larger manufacturing companies to bring our products to market. In the past two years, in partnership with major companies which are leaders in their fields, we have successfully commercialized the large-scale manufacture of fullerenes, the Direct Oxidation process to remove and recover sulfur from natural gas, and electronically-conducting polymers that are made easier to process because they disperse in organic solvents.”

Google Tip: Translation Tool
"In Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan “Come alive with the Pepsi Generation” came out as “Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead.” -- http://www.goodquotes.info
Google® offers a free translation gadget you can add to your iGoogle homepage. The translations are not always perfect, but can be useful nonetheless.
For example, let’s say you wanted to Google® for Arabic language resources pertaining to “dibenzothiophene.” Type “dibenzothiophene “ in the translation box. Select “English” in the source language box, and “Arabic” in the other box. Then click “Translate.”
You will find no translation of the word “dibenzothiophene.” Too bad.
But, repeat the search using the word “thiophene,” and you will see a translation in Arabic script.
Next, select the Arabic translation with your cursor, copy to your clipboard, and paste into the Google® search box. The result is several hundred Arabic language items containing that word.
I am not fluent in Arabic, unfortunately. But if you are, this is an easy way for you to search the Web for items of interest to you.
“The old Kentucky Fried Chicken slogan “finger-lickin’ good” came out as “eat your fingers off.” in Chinese. Whoops.” -- http://www.goodquotes.info

Search tip: Use ScienceDirect's hyperlinks
"A safe but sometimes chilly way of recalling the past is to force open a crammed drawer. If you are searching for anything in particular you don't find it, but something falls out at the back that is often more interesting" -- James M. Barrie (1860 - 1937)
The glory of the Web is its ability to hyperlink the browser from point to point in the information domain with the click of a mouse. Web sites like ScienceDirect take advantage of this capability to lead the searcher from a particular article to similar articles.
For example, from the article …
Ultrasound-assisted oxidative desulfurization of liquid fuels and its industrial applicationIN: Ultrasonics Sonochemistry
… we can leap to the abstracts of Related Articles, which are listed in a side bar to the right of the article we originally found.

Expert Alert: Ki-Hyouk Choi
“The day after tomorrow is the third day of the rest of your life” -- George Carlin
Ki-Hyouk Choi has been busy inventing new ways to desulfurize heavy crude for many years. Here is a recent patent credited to him …
SAUDI ARAMCO PATENT (WO/2009/073447)
PROCESS FOR UPGRADING HEAVY AND HIGHLY WAXY CRUDE OIL WITHOUT SUPPLY OF HYDROGEN (2009)
WO/2009/073447
Pub. No.: WO/2009/073447 International Application No.: PCT/US2008/084543
Publication Date: 11.06.2009 International Filing Date: 24.11.2008
Inventor: CHOI, Ki-Hyouk; (SA).
Abstract:
A continuous process to upgrade heavy crude oil for producing more valuable crude feedstock having high API gravity, low asphaltene content, and high middle distillate yield, low sulfur content, low nitrogen content, and low metal co teat without external supply of hydrogen and/or catalyst. Heavy crude oil having substantial amount of asphaltene and heavy components is mixed with highly waxy crude oil having large amount of paraffinic components and water to decompose asphaltene compounds and remove sulfur, nitrogen, and metal containing substances under supercritical conditions. Product has higher API gravity, lower asphaltene content, high middle distillate yield, lower sulfur content, lower nitrogen content, and lower metal content to be suitable for conventional petroleum refining process.
